Islamic woman and licence photo (1 Viewer)

[Slidey]

In South Australia, an Islamic woman was allowed to wear her religious dress while getting her licence photo taken. However, it is debated that she is breaking the law, because her identity is concealed. What are you're thoughts. should she have to obey the law regarding ID like everybody else?

"However, it is debated that she is breaking the law, because her identity is concealed."

That is incorrect. Is is NOT debated. She IS breaking the law:

1) Her identity is concealed
2) Concealing identity on license photos is breaking the law
3) She is breaking the law

What is debated is whether or not an exception should be made for her.

Personally, I can see absolutely no justification for why she should be allowed an exemption. Her license should be revoked pending a legal ID photo.

This is Australia. We have photo ID's. If you aren't willing to show your face in a photo ID then go live somewhere else where you don't have to.

And I am assuming this is one of the completely face covering ones, not just the headscarft. It would be equivalent to me wearing a mask to get my licence photo taken. I wouldn't be allowed to do that, so why should someone else.

The line has to be drawn between being accepting of other cultures and just telling them to fuck off. The line is drawn here.

if the photo conceals her face, then i agree with slide rule. if it's just hair, who cares.

probably the former, and if it is, i'm shocked at the stupidity of the rta (or whatever it's called in SA).

She should not conceal her face entirely. As most people have mentioned this is more of an arab cultural practice, Islam only recommends covering your whole body with your face, hands and feet showing. That's it. It doesn't say to cover half your face

i had to take my turban off... i was no longer known as 'turbo turban'...

 

[spell check]

i do think religion is stupid

but considering she is likely to be wearing the head scarf if she was pulled over by the police or anything anyway, i don't see the problem if her face is visible

 

[Not-That-Bright]

Umm.. because when she gets pulled over by the cops, they're obviously going to ask her to take off her head scarf so they can identify her with her picture.

 

[tempco]

you mean veil, right?

 

[joujou_84]

hows she planning on driving while she has her face covered??

 

[Mumma]

If shes going to cover her face and be a wahabbi she might as well go to saudia arabia where they arnt even allowed to drive. Seriously what the fuck.

 

[tempco]

veil doesn't cover the eyes. unless you're real hardxcore.

Well if they police pull her over and she isn't wearing the head scarf, then bingo... it isn't her.

the fact that the diver's licence was processed clearly shows that the government has no problem with it, so in conclusion this thread was a waste of time.....

p.s i am not against everyone yet people should really get over it and people who wish to be religious should have compasion for the rules and regulations.

... *slap*

 

[sugared plum]

that's weird.
the other week i saw a move about afghanistan, and there was a woman who'd lost use of both legs, and wanted to get a pension or something.
so she went to this place, and had her photo taken, and for the photograph she removed her total face covering in front of the male photographer etc

 

[iambored]

she should definitely show her face in the photo, otherwise it's not photo id because anyone can dress like her

 

[zahid]

I agree .

 

[xeuyrawp]

Well I want to go to her Islamic country and drink Vodka, smoke weed, and fuck heaps of Islamic bitches on the street till they scream.

It is cultural, because religious practices are generally derived from the culture at the time the religion was established.
